Revenge: The Complete Second Season

(Chris Rebholz) 9/9/2013 11:33 AM EST
There was a period several years ago where it seemed that Bones was the only television show I watched on a regular basis. However, in recent years, the TV dance-card has been filled with more and more shows. As many have pointed out, there are a lot of great shows out there right now, both on network channels and on cable. These cable shows have i... Read More

Riddick

(Chris Rebholz) 9/6/2013 8:24 AM EST
"Somewhere along the way I lost a step… gotta find that animal side again."Those words, croaked early in the film by Vin Diesel's titular antihero and bathed in metatextuality, sum up far more than the character's intentions. Riddick manages to salvage a franchise that faltered by adopting the strategy that A Good Day to Di... Read More

The Fugitive (20th Anniversary Edition)

(John Delia) 9/3/2013 12:35 PM EST
The 20th Anniversary Edition of The Fugitive has been released with all the heart pounding action that appeared on the big screen in 1993. The thrilling adventurous chase has always been the hallmark for which many subsequent films have imitated. Relentless in pursuit, the film takes you on a fast paced ride keeping you on the edge of y... Read More

The Artist and the Model

(John Delia) 8/30/2013 11:10 AM EST
One of the most truly artistic films this year turns out to be foreign and in black and white, but the charming, beautiful, sweet and convincing story out shines anything else. It's called The Artist and the Model with brilliant performances that draw you into a window of the past where World War II takes a pause and sparks a different kind o... Read More

Heart of the Country

(Chris Rebholz) 8/30/2013 10:17 AM EST
"Heart of the Country" releasing to DVD on Aug. 20, isn't necessarily a bad movie, but there's really not much that is too memorable in the 87-minute runtime. The story is a by the numbers affair, taking cues from so many better features that have come before it. It seems these days that any film or TV show featuring a woman at th... Read More

Getaway

(John Delia) 8/29/2013 10:33 AM EST
Burning rubber for nearly 90 minutes the movie Getaway slams into theaters this weekend. It's not Fast and Furious or even a remake of The Getaway, but a script that emulates films like Bullet, Drive and a myriad of car chase films. It's non-stop action from the word go, pushing the tachometer into the red allowing only a few times for the au... Read More

Closed Circuit

(John Delia) 8/27/2013 1:05 PM EST
This cat and mouse thriller takes a startling twist as it weaves a tale of terrorism and trust in the film Closed Circuit. The story rules the feature with compelling writing under the fine direction of John Crowley. It plays out like a John Grisham novel with edge of your seat suspense and tense courtroom drama. The fine acting keeps t... Read More

Star Trek Into Darkness

(Chris Rebholz) 8/27/2013 1:00 PM EST
I was completely swept away by the 2009 reinvention of "Star Trek". Director J.J. Abrams approached an impossible creative challenge with startling confidence, restoring awe to a brand name that had lost its way while removing the need to be slavish to Gene Roddenberry's original creation as it paved the way for its own universe of alien ...

Epic

(Chris Rebholz) 8/27/2013 10:38 AM EST
The title of Blue Sky Studios' latest animated film seems to be both ironic and sincere, the former because Epic is concerned with an incredibly small-scale view—it stars little woodland creatures and a race of tiny, fairy-like humans—and the latter because the film tries to mount a large-scale action-adventure that pits the forces ...

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Ninth Season

(Chris Rebholz) 8/26/2013 10:49 AM EST
Grey's Anatomy came onto the TV scene, believe it or not, over 9 years ago and during that time has garnered a strong and loyal following. Mostly, the audience for this show is women which isn't so surprising when you take a closer look at the plot of the show. Take a few handsome television actors, make their characters good and noble with just th... Read More
